"SOLDIER BOY" The Scepter Records Story 1961-1962

The story of Scepter Records is one of perseverance – the dogged mentality of founder Florence Greenberg dragged the label to prominence in the late Fifties and early Sixties when it looked like it would never get off the ground. Scepter introduced America to some of the most influential R&B artists of the century. Sceptor finally cracked the big time in 1960 with the Shirelles hit 'Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow' and went on to introduce some of the most famous artists of the era. This two-disc collection includes a host of her most influential moments, including Dionne Warwick, Joey Dee & The Starliters and Del Marino. With the addition of subsidiary Wand Records in 1961, Greenberg would create her own musical dynasty in the heart of New York City.

EDDIE HINTON - Beautiful Dream: Sessions Vol. 3 @320

(big sound improvement over the 160 previously offered here)

This is the third release in Zane's highly acclaimed 'Sessions' series that exclusively presents more unissued material from the Muscle Shoals guitarist and singer, songwriter Eddie Hinton. Like the previous two releases, Zane #1016 and #1020, these recordings are raw, live, often one-take studio efforts that offer further insight to the artistic vision and developement of Eddie Hinton's unchained talent and what might have been. A 12 page booklet with rare photos and informative notes accompanies the music. These posthumous releases are essential listening within the resurgence of interest in Southern Soul and Country Soul music.

"...an enthusiastic vocal style that is at times pure blue-eyed Otis Redding...part Southern rock, part Southern soul". -- Jesse Drucker, Wall Street Journal, February 11, 2006

...If Eddie Hinton isn't the greatest of blue-eyed-soul singers, (he) certainly is one of the most unheralded... -- Knight Ridder newspapers, 2005

LEE MICHAELS - Barrel '70 @320

The strengths of the album are the strengths of most of Michaels's early-1970s material: rich funk-rock-gospel vocals and keyboards. Some moderate circa-1970 counterculture sentiments surfaced in songs like "What Now America," but the undoubted highlight was his rousing cover of Moby Grape's "Murder in My Heart (For the Judge)."

THE FAR WEST - Any Day Now '14

This band, fronted by Texan, Robert Black and New England native, Lee Briante, have their boot heels planted firmly in the same L.A. dirt once occupied by Woody Guthrie, Johnny Cash, Guy Clark and Kris Kristofferson. As they’ve crafted an album with the honky tonk roots of the golden days of the Palomino, they have filled this fine sophomore effort album with songs that call to mind the best of the what California country has to offer. By Terry Paul Roland

“The album is bolstered by solid songwriting, a strong twang-lined group spirit and a renewed sense of validity to the comparisons being flung at the band, including Uncle Tupelo, The Band and, yes, that far western rocker cowboy Gram Parsons.” Santa Barbara News-Press

The Shadows - The Early Years (Expanded Edition). Their Complete Studio Recordings 1959-1966 (6CD Box Set, 2013)

To be fair, this six-CD set is really for completists only, since the price tag is likely to put off anyone else. But if you've been hooked on the beautiful guitar work of Hank Marvin and the surprisingly muscularity of the band, delving deeper is a very good idea. Not only do you get all the big hits -- like "Apache," "F.B.I.," and "The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt" (or even the wonderfully named "I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Arthur") -- you get literally everything. There's the obscure "Quartermaster's Stores," the traditional tune that would have been their first single if "Apache" hadn't proved to be so popular (it was relegated to the B-side), and some stuff that might have been better off left in the vaults, like "Lonely Bull" or "That's the Way It Goes," which were really little more than album-filler from back in the days when albums consisted of a few hits and anything else to fill up 40 minutes. What's most astonishing, however, is the fact that the Shadows produced consistently high-quality material, moving beyond the twang to dip their feet in the waters of Spain ("Tres Carabeles") and even some early music ("Lute Number"). Quite how they found the time for it all while keeping up a busy schedule behind Cliff Richard is another matter. Marvin's guitar work is a joy throughout, and the British king of the whammy bar uses it wisely and well. He might not have been the fastest or most fluent player around, but he knew how to work and develop a melody and what not to play -- no wonder he was a major influence on an entire generation of guitar heroes, who learned to play by copying his records. Add on top a great sense of pun ("Theme From a Filleted Place" anyone?) and you have an enjoyable collection. Yes, it can get a bit samey if you play all six discs one after the other. But, like all things, this is to be enjoyed in moderation, to realize that during these seven years, even as rock changed around them, the Shadows remained at the height of their formidable powers. -Allmusic
